Utopia Mode unable to establish colony

[zimfier]

I have found a site for a colony to be started. I have sent over the required materials, people and had the scouts ready to go. When they get there, it states "15 weeks to construct colony." No movement after 15 weeks. I let it go for another 100 weeks and its still not finished. I managed to create colonies in Story mode no problem, but this has happened multiple times for me in Utopia mode. Am I missing something here?

You seem to either:

Be missing something, yes. Because first they have to GET the materiels and colonists there once a proper route is established using the thing that's better than roads (sorry it's eluding me at the moment!) and THEN progress starts. And if anything interrupts or cancels or turns that progress off or you suddenly lack the sufficient Frost Land teams to manage it all, you have start again.
You should a progress diamond on the colony filling up with progress. Otherwise see if something stopped it. Like a whiteout or something?

OR you've run into some bug that I've never yet encountered. Setting up colonies have been pretty cut and dry.

Set up the path.
Make sure it finishes building.
Tell the site you want to start a colony
Send it the materials and Frostland teams you require.
Watch as it completes.
Turn on your generator.
Profit.

Skyways and yeah, that's running from colony to city. No whiteout happens and I can see them march across the map, get there and do nothing. They arrive there, the explorers are put back into the pool, are able to remain in said pool and nothing progresses. I'm just out 3000 people, 400 fabs and a core and unable to complete Utopia mode because I chose to establish colonies as my wincon.

Thank God for Gamepass, I'd be so angry if I had actually spent money on this.

if you are sure u don't miss sth that means it's a well known bug. Try load game and establish it once more if it still not work send ss of colony info

Are you able to open up the colony spot interface, the city to be that refuses to build, and see what it says is going on?
I assume you already hit the start colony button. That's otherwise not clickable until you fulfill the core, material, population and frost team requirements. So you've hit that button...they march their butts over there and then just...stay idle?

Are your industrial districts still powered on with enough frostland workforce?

I am interested to see what it says when you bring up the colony interface while they're just sitting over there idle.

Something has to be wrong or missing but without visuals I couldn't say.

Might actually be a bug if nothing flat out tells you what's going on at your colony.

Not only have I tried to reload the game, I've started a new game only for it to happen again.

I've already uninstalled FP2, but I had positive materials and positive food, housing was negative predispatch but positive post dispatch, negative goods and made sure that the expedition districts remained at full from week 30 when they were sent to week 80 when I gave up. Whiteout wasn't even on the compass. It remained as "Generator is disabled" at the colony along with "Central District is under construction" for the entire time.

Did you have enough frost land teams available. I’ve started multiple colonies no problem. Both the small colonies that don’t get an actual city and the ones you do. Not once run into that problem

[Professor H. Farnsworth]

This is most likely because the game made a derp and subtracted workers from your expedition districts thus reducing the amount of frostland scouts you have available when you clicked settle.
Redistributing workers to your expedition districts will make it work again.

They will stop building if you don't have enough frostland teams sometimes they remove workers from your logistics district and it make you lose frostland team while building and they will wait until you have 20 again
